TRUTH STRANGER THAN FICTION.

No fiction ever transcended the of nature. Ay, the imagination of the most prolific and sensatinal novelist has been eclipsed by strange incidents or coincidents in real life. The close com nection between mind and body has often been curiously exhibited by the effects of strong passions. Anger has produced apoplexy ; a paroxysm of fear has in one? night bleached black ha ; r to the color of the driven snow ; grief breaks the heart' ( -and learning has si nt many a man madj Some of our readers may repudiate these assertions as pure fiction, for such is the fate of all narratives that do not record merely (he every-day incident© of vulgir life- Vet another example that truth is stranger than fiction, has just been fur-; nished by Miss Nelly Bly, who, according to the latest cables, circled the world in 72 days, arid has broken Julius ficTtipus. record as expanded in his' sensational novel, “ Around the World in| Eighty .Days.” And would anybody cat e; to enquire into the silent suffering endured) by many poor devoted wife or husbandj smitten with disease, it would be shown 1 that no fiction ever outstripped the doings of nature. Mbs O. A. Beeggood, Geelong,! under date January 30, make the following statement :—“ For some years I have been suffering from advanced kidney: .disease and chronic congestion of the liver. I had dull pains in the back, and 'burning stitching pains in the regions of the liver. There was a strange s- renes-i of ! the bowels, a frequent desire tourin.ua, and I had often violent cramps in the legs. I was troubled with distressing nervousness, swelling of the ankles, and an examination of the urine showed traces pf albumen, pointing to inaipient Bright’s disease of the kidneys. I had such short ; breath and choking sensations that I frequently imagined 1 would My nights were sleepless, and my constitution was reduced to a pitiable plight. Such was ray condition when I heard of Warner’s Safe Cure. Soon after taking same, to ray amazement, I experienced a most wonderful improvement. The sediment in my water cleared, and with the use of the third bottle of Warner’s Safe Cure the pains had gradually ceased. In all I took some sixteen bottles of Warner’s Safe Cure, and they have cleared; the secretions of the kidneys arid restored me to health and strength.’ - Mr John R. -Williams, Wills Street, Ballarat, Victoria, manager Earl of Beaconsfield Mine, writes, funder date January '- 29tb, 1890 : —“ For some five years I have been a sufferer from constant dizziness in the head, so that I was frequently in danger of falling. I passed sleepless nights, suffered from shortness of breath, and my doctor said my heart was affected. The idea that there might be organic disease of the heart weighed me down as if there was a millstone suspended from my neck. I found my gloomy forebodings : happily misplacad when giving myself treatment with Warner’s Safe Nervine. The second bottle gave me relief, and I could again resume my duties comfortably. ' The dizziness disappeared, and the medicine enabled me to sleep well and sound. I have taken five bottles of Warner’s Safe Nervine, also some of Warner’s Safe Pills, since which the giddiness is permanently removed, and every symptom of disease has vanished.”
